Misaki signs with Strike Force

PRIDE's 2006 Welterweight Grand Prix champion, Kazuo Misaki has signed with the American-based Strikeforce organization. Surrounding his signing with the company was speculation that he may enter the upcoming four-man tournament, or face Cung Le, at the November 16 event in San Jose, California.

Instead Misaki will not be fighting on the November 16 card, instead focusing on his teammate, Yuki Sasaki, in the tournament.

I'm glad the EliteXC/Strikefoce alliance is working and there bringing in great fighters like Misaki, but I'm real worried for Victrory Road or whatever its called, I don't know how many fighters they can get, they better start signing immeadeatly

Does K-1 have any plans on airing pay per views in American anytime soon? cause i would really like to see some of those fights.

Where does it say that Manhoef and Sergei are fighting? I wish that was true, but unless I'm missing somethin I only see Kang on the next K-1 fight card

Anyone heard yet who Babalu will be facing and when? He should take the 205 lb title easily enough.

I would guess his first match would be against Bobby Southworth, but I have no idea when...
